I know I promised, BUT....

no pictures. SORRY :(
I totally hate when I'm blog stocking and people do updates with know pictures (sorry to those of you who I just offended, please, don't take it personal, cause it's not, I'm just bored!). But here I am being a hypocrite and doing it. SO much has happened in the last few months that I can barely catch my breath! So here are some major highlights (minus pix) from our last month.
#1... RAYCE GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE!!!!! What an amazing 5 years we had in Moscow. He graduated with honors with a Bachelors of Science with a degree in Virtual Technology and Design... aka animation and computer programming. I am so proud of his dedication and determination to finish with 4 children, a nagging wife, and multiple jobs! He is an amazing man, and I truly feel blessed to have him by my side!
#2... Ivory has turned 8 months old and is not a very big little girlie. She is only 15 lbs 8 ozs, which has us a little concerned because she's not really growing, but she is a happy go lucky little girl, and (to the best of my knowledge) is loving life! She is super active and gets into everything. She is also our little Hoover and puts the tiniest little things in her mouth, along with everything else that she can possible shove in there! She is on the verge of walking, and I am pretty sure she is going to take off any day now!
#3... WE MOVED!!!! back to Shelley. It is so wonderful being back with family and friends. I get to watch my nephews 3 days a week, and we all have a blast! We spend as much time with Brianna's kids as we can, and it is so fun to have all these built in friends around us all the time. We have also been hanging out with the Bowcutts alot, and it is so nice to have such great friends live so close now! Both of the three oldest kids from each of our families are close to the same age, so they all have a good time together.

I dearly miss Moscow, especially the friends we left behind! I get choked up thinking about all the things that we should have done, but soon realize that there are bigger and better things a head of us!
Rayce has applied for a job out at the INEL, and also to some major companies out along the West Coast. And to be quite honest, I would be happy where ever we landed. I love being close to family, but I also love being on an adventure with my little family of 6, Oh the places we will go.
I hope to post pictures soon, I've only taken about a kazillion!!!!!
Hope you have a wonderful day! :)

I am so sad I didn't get to see you when we were in ID. It was so busy and crazy I hardly had time to think! I love all your fun updates and yes, I can't wait to see pictures :)
